Ridgeway Repeater Group - GB3WH, GB3TD, GB7TC & MB7USW

Monday, 18 March 2019

The Annual General Meeting of the group will be on Wednesday, 8th
May 2019 at 7.30pm in the offices of Thrings LLP, 6 Drakes Meadow, Penny Lane,
Swindon, SN3 3LL.

All members and visitors will be warmly welcomed. As well as providing an
opportunity to contribute to the direction of the group, the AGM provides an
opportunity to meet other users of the repeaters that you probably speak to on
a regular basis.

TG260 is now available on slot 1 as a user activated
group on all Phoenix UK repeaters. This will allow access to the Polish
national talk group. For a QSO please move to user activated TG113 or TG123.

Summary of current Talk Groups
available on GB7TC

All except TG9 are also linked through the Phoenix
Internet based core links World Wide.

Checking the internet link from GB7TC

If
you use the echo TG9990 and it fails to echo audio, then the link is down or there
is a core issue. In most cases this will resolve within a few minutes as the
link from GB7TC to the internet uses 3G technology and it reinitialises
occasionally.

GPS to APRS

For those getting to grips with GPS
to APRS. There are a few different private talk groups you can send the
data to which produce different behaviour on APRS.
